These videos are amazing and still helping people 2 years later! This game is so complicated and desperately needs class explainers like this for beginners. Thank you!
Just for Information for people. Elemental Bloodline does have an arcane, it just doesn't show in the class description : You can change the elemental damage of a spell into your chosen element (is a ability that you toggle on/off). However its just damage not the descriptor. Also for Sage/Sylvan/Empyreal archetypes you can't take a second bloodlines mythic ability. The seeker loses the 3rd level and 15th level bloodline power. And the nine-tail heir loses all bloodline spells they would gain in exchange for the magical tails.
I think that the Abyssal Bloodline is one thats supposed to be used for Polymorphing I think. Like, the low Bab doesnt matter if youre transformed into a Dragon with natural weapons, but the Strenght boosts are useful
Sorcerers arent always from doing it sometimes its just said entity just blessed the family or cursed them cause otherwise undead bloodline is kinda sus
unsung confirmed a charlatan, calling overwhelming mage sorcerer+ when it is OBVIOUSLY sylvan sorcerer, smilodons for LIFE (also, empyreal+zen archer might be super good, getting wisdom on basically everything)
Think you greatly undervalued crossblooded. If you take two draconic bloodlines of the same type that's +2 damage per die. If you get a second bloodline from a mythic that's +3 damage per die assuming you go three fire or acid. That's +3 damage per die for one class level and one mythic ability. Throw out a 10d6 fireball and that's an extra 30 damage. 1d6 sneak attack is 3.5 damage per die on average, so it's almost as good as an arcane trickster but it takes considerably less investment (don't remember how many sneak attacks AT gets though). Will say it probably does work better as a dip to another caster, but if you're going blaster it's a really powerful archetype.
Crossblooded specifically states that you only get the class skills and spells from the 2nd bloodline. You don't get all the arcana and powers doubled. So no, not extra extra damage to elements.
@@unsungnpc8918 I can vouch for what s/he said, despite what the game says, you *do* get the Bloodline Powers from the 2nd Bloodline, one of my most brutal nuker builds was actually a Wizard 19 (Elemental Specialist) / Crossblood (Draconic Green + Draconic Black) 1 with the Extra Bloodline - Draconic Copper Mythic Feat so that all my spells got +3 damage per dice.
@@Matthias-pj6th hmmm I see. I know in the tabletop you get both arcana so I was surprised when I read it for the video. Do you just get both power sets? Or do you pick which bloodlines power each checkpoint like in the tabletop?

Ehhh even a vampire is still dead and thats weird but I guess also a good way to remember which breath weapon per dragon is that its the same as the spell :)
@@unsungnpc8918 If you actually read the description of the Damphirs it says that they're an artificial race that can't breed true and that when a Damphir has a child it's almost always a Human with the Undead Bloodline.

Great video. I’m fairly new to the game. Doing a sorcerer class right now. That helped me pick a direction. Great work and thank you
Glad to help out! Always here to answer any questions you might have.
Make sure you wash your feats guys

Awesome! Do you know if it changes the animation? I just want to play a storm mage haha.

Yeah I'd agree with that. Transforming, str, summoning some minions. Typical Demon shit if you ask me haha

If Deadeye were a prestige class that'd be a perfect setup for it

It can say whatever it wants, but in game you do get the +1 damage per die from all three bloodlines. That's been thoroughly tested.

@@unsungnpc8918 I am not sure, my experience with Crossblood is limited to dips, but I know for a fact that you do get both Bloodline Arcana features.
I like to be a Sorcerer Sage so I can be smart AND a sorcerer.
